~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
A stunning original antique French clock set.
To the sides are fluted pilasters and the clock is surmounted by a twin handled urn. Candelabra are formed of a central flaming torché with two arms of scrolling acanthus.
The dial cream porcelain enamel on copper with delicate floral swags between the numbers. It is complete with its original finely fretted gilt hands. Below the dial is a mount of scrolling and blossoming acanthus.
The French movement is of high quality and is by Louis Japy. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The green onyx is also in very good condition, there are two cracks to the lower left hand side of the clock and a small repair to the lower right hands side. There are some nibbles to the edges. Dial is very good with just some nibbles to the winding holes. Candelabra are very slightly distorted.
